 STORIES TO TELL: WINNING AT LIFE

LIFE AS WE KNOW IT IS NOT ABOUT CANDIES AND

RAINBOWS, IT IS FULL OF STRUGGLES TOO. LIVING LIFE IS
LIKE SAILING IN AN OCEAN, SOMETIMES THE JOURNEY IS
SMOOTH AND CALM, BUT THERE ARE ALSO DAYS THAT
THE WAVES ARE HIGH AND ROUGH. AND, FOR
EVERYTHING THAT WE WANT TO ACHIEVE, WE CAN COME
UP WITH A LIST OF REASONS WHY WE CANNOT DO IT. “I
WANT TO BE A DOCTOR, BUT MY FAMILY IS FINANCIALLY
UNSTABLE TO SEND ME TO MED SCHOOL.” “I WANT VISIT
MY PARENTS IN BICOL, BUT I DON’T HAVE THE TIME.” “I
WANT TO TRAVEL AND ENJOY THE SUMMER BY THE
BEACH, BUT I DON’T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY.”
 THESE ARE JUST SIMPLE EXAMPLES OF A PERSON’S
DESIRE TO DO SOMETHING THAT WOULD MAKE HIM
HAPPY, BUT IS EASILY CONFRONTED WITH THE REASONS
WHY HE CANNOT NOT DO THEM. EVEN FAMOUS
PERSONALITIES LIKE MANNY PACQUIAO, PIA ALONZO
WURTZBACH, AND DR. ROSE ZETA-CAPEDING HAVE HAD
MOMENTS THEY WISHED THAT THEY HAD MORE TIME,
ENERGY, AND RESOURCES. IT IS IN OUR NATURE TO HAVE
DOUBTS AND ASK WHETHER OR NOT WE HAVE WHAT IT
TAKES TO SUCCEED AT SOMETHING.
